Excessive speeding penalties kick in when drivers are travelling more than 40 kilometres an hour over the speed limit.

Police didn’t say how fast the drivers were going, but a photo shared on social media suggested one of them was clocked at 124 km/h.

On Thursday, the traffic unit caught a driver travelling 116 km/h in a 60 zone along Sooke Road in Metchosin.

The driver was issued a $368 violation ticket for excessive speed and three points against their licence, police said. Their vehicle was towed and will be impounded for seven days.
